Luke 18:18-43
Again we are told 3 quick stories and each of them has a big truth jumping off the page at us. Take time to listen to watch my video about it and then go back and read the passage for yourself. Then with each story: The rich ruler; Jesus predicting His death; and the healing of the blind man - jot down what the truth is you learn about Jesus.
Kids - I’m looking for some silly pictures of a big animal trying to fit into a small space or next to something supersmall. This was part of the truth Jesus was teaching - a camel cannot fit inside the eye of a needle and we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven based on good things we do. I will look forward to seeing your BIG drawings and me and Miss Amber can’t wait to talk to you guys at 7pm tonight on Facebook Live.

NOON DAY PRAYER
There is nothing better we could do with our time than to gather in prayer for our world right now. At Noon this Wednesday we are going to gather around our laptops and have a time of prayer. We ask you to join us. Here are a few ways you can do that. If you have a google account you could just follow this link Noon-Day Prayer with your laptop and then click on “join Hangout”
You could go to your APP store and download the “Google Hangout” APP on your phone and join us. We will gather at 12 Noon. I hope you can join us.
Here are the prayer requests for today:
Kingdom Requests: pray that...
1. We would draw near to God during this crisis through reading the Word & prayer.
2. Our hearts would find peace in who God is (our Refuge, Strength, Fortress, present help, Sovereign, all-powerful - Psalm 46).
3. God would burden/break our hearts for the lost.
4. Covid 19 would have a sobering effect on Christians, and that we would wake up and live radically for Christ! That we would love God with the entirety of our being, love our neighbor, and share the eternal life-giving message of the gospel with others.
5. God would use the Coronavirus to drive people to Christ by... humbling people, exposing the uncertainty & frailty of life, showing people their mortality, having people contemplate death and their eternal destiny, showing people that their heart is infected with the ultimate virus of sin and the only antidote is Christ.
Physical Needs: pray that...
1. We would seek to help those in our body who are in need (financial, groceries etc)
2. God would keep us united and connected as a body even though we’re physically apart.
3. God would minister to those who are sick.
4. We would seek opportunities to minister to our community during this crisis.
